PhineasC Posted March 2 Winds aren’t bad here, but then again they never are too bad in this location. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeppy Posted March 2 I am definitely concerned that my generator is out of commission. Also frustrated that Phin gets synoptic and upslope plus retention and southern exposure. Maybe I'm being petty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fozz Posted March 2 40 minutes ago, mreaves said: You’re down in town right? I-89 between exit 5 and exit 6 has been pretty bad I heard. That section down through exit 3 is the worse for weather. It tops out at something like 1850’ just south of exit 5. Some of my scariest drives have come on that section of road. Yup, I’m right near the university. It’s been a fun evening, definitely feels like deep winter has returned. 1.7” new. 16 degrees Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wxeyeNH Posted March 2 17F S++ Vis couple of hundred feet. Hard to estimate but 1/2"? in past 15 minutes? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jculligan Posted March 2 We've had two separate rounds of brief squalls here; the first a little after 5pm, and the second rolled through between 9:30-10:00pm. The cumulative total has been 0.4" so definitely nothing to write home about at this point. As expected, the bigger story has been the temperature drop so far; from around 40F at 4pm to 15F now. Back to deep winter for the time being. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jculligan Posted March 2 Looks like Hermit Lake picked up 3" in squalls overnight, but with a current air temp of -16F I'm all set with touring up there this morning ha. Between yesterday's rain and today's arctic blast, this will be my first time missing back-to-back mornings since before Christmas! -3F here at 1500' right now, which is a tie for my low for the winter. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grambo Posted March 2 Some of the strongest winds I've felt and heard rocked the house last night. Weather station had a gust of 42 MPH and we are relatively sheltered being on the lee side of the island with a north wind. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tamarack Posted March 2 Wind is roaring but so far the generator hasn't been needed. Spreading ashes on the icy driveway (ice plus a bit of snow from an overnight flurry) was an adventure - probably 2/3 was blown to who knows where. Gusts probably near 40, twigs scattered about, thin clouds and -1 at 7 AM. Makes 22 of 23 years March has had a subzero morning. In 2010, my warmest March, the low was 11.

NW winds just don't do much here, feel like MAYBE gusted to 40. Had no problem sleeping. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
backedgeapproaching Posted March 2 Guess there were some higher gusts than I thought on the other side of town. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jculligan Posted March 2 Managed to get out for a quick lap at Black Mountain around 7:30 this morning. I would call it "boilerplate" conditions. The upper portion of the mountain definitely had a heavy glazing yesterday, and any ski tracks that were made in the soft wet snow conditions lower on the mountain froze into hard, impenetrable ruts. No trail maintenance was done during the night. Between the sketchy snow conditions, plus all the crap that has blown down (sticks, twigs, pine needles, etc.)...I think it's safe to say it's some of the worst inbounds skiing I've ever experienced lol. Normally I skin in a base layer and very light shell but today I went full arctic gear with puffy, balaclava, helmet and goggles on the uphill. One lap was good enough. Back at home, we're up to 5F and my sheltered anemometer has registered a peak gust of 39 mph so far. It's cranking out there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wxeyeNH Posted March 2 I received 2" in heavy snow squalls last evening. Exactly as the GFS and Euro predicted my low was 0F around sunrise. Nice roar in the trees with lots of blowing snow after the squalls. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
klw Posted March 2 We ended up losing power for 2 or 3 hours last night. We only got a half inch or so of snow but got down to 0 this morning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
powderfreak Posted March 2 Up to 7F at MVL... still getting gusts over 30mph. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhineasC Posted March 2 4 degrees, winds 20, gusts to 40. -17 windchill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
powderfreak Posted March 2 Got some snow coming it looks like tomorrow. A couple waves but snow growth looks pretty good. Could be a refresh. With no synoptic storms we need to keep limping along with butter on some bread. Euro is the lightest... GFS is the heaviest... this would be a good shot for the Northern Greens.

powderfreak Posted March 2 HREF mean likes 4-6” for the ski areas in NVT. Good old SREF plumes are around 2” for MVL out in the valley, so one would think the slopes might get at least some help or a snowy day tomorrow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhineasC Posted March 2 Yeah, decent upslope signature on a potent NW flow. I could see another one of my famous 1.5" of fluff tomorrow. Those are dime a dozen around here. J. Spin will be racking up 3-4 inches of fluff down at his spot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bet on an ensemble he’d had some 10-12” members ha. Theres some workable QPF on the models over this way...that’s not the worst signal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
